A very close friend of mine (now 94 years old) trained in the USA and Canada with the RAF and ended the war flying Catalina's in the Middle East. I hope to get hold of his Flight Log and write about his training and flying.

Sounds interesting, some years back I bought a (print) drawing of a Catalina that had been signed by a number of people. Research showed that many, if not all, had been crew on Catalinas during the war.
